The guys at Wired have already given us the odd stomach ache by smashing some of the most expensive and powerful tech products on the market. It hurts us especially when they are dedicated to breaking consoles under the pretext of testing their resistance to blows, all for science.
In their latest video they once again put the resistance of our beloved consoles to the test , only this time in a rather interesting confrontation. The idea is to test which of all the existing consoles, until the time of Xbox 360 and PS3, is the most resistant, the result may surprise you.
Testing is not limited to testing whether the console turns on, but must be able to play games and fully function. Some of these disassemble almost entirely when they touch the ground, while others manage to withstand the fall with some strength, although internally they are burst.
We assume that the test has been done up to the generation of Xbox 360 and PS3 due to lack of budget to add current generation consoles to the equation. In any case, I would not destroy such mythical consoles as Dreamcast or Super Nintendo just for science.
